That night, while I lay 49 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 50 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily 51 . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 52 them herself, pink, yellow and your favourite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 53 , and you never saw the 54 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 55 and now my tears began to fall.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 36 was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue. It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : “First of all I checked up my 42 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger.

While I was 39 my flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get 40 only five dollars, Madam?” he asked.

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n) 36 injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to 37 the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.
"Maybe I should quit," I 40as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow, 41 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 42 and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43 .
When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45 be cheering for the boys."
I went 46 to the bathroom where a girl came across me and said, "Wow, you've got courage!"
I thought, "Courage? She must be 47 me for someone else. I just 48 a race! I would have never been able to finish those two miles 49 I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .
That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories. They are measured in the struggles we 55 .

When a person is curious about something, it means he is 36 in it and wishes to know something about it. We can say he has curiosity about that thing. There is nothing wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about.
Curiosity 38 can be silly or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbours are doing. They are anxious to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is silly because they are not important. It is none of their 41 to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful. Most probably, it may 42 to small talk which often brings harm, shame or disrespect to 43 , and thus 44 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a noble (高尚的) curiosity — curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they 45 about them. Columbus would never have found America if he had not been 46 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 47 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 48a result of curiosity, 49 the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 50 — or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
